Praying with the Eco Tips
We hope that the tips (copies available on request) shared over the past few months have been useful and are worth “actioning” with prayer. In this way we can receive forgiveness for our failures, and hope for the future through our living prayerful relationship with our creator and sustainer.
A short litany to help prayer with eco-tips called to mind…
Living Lord I come before you in sorrow for the ways in which I have contributed to the potential ruin of your creation…
In your compassion forgive me.
Living Lord I come before you with fresh resolve to work with you in restoring the beauty and harmony of your creation…
In your compassion inspire me.
Living Lord I am sometimes shy to speak out about this work which I am doing with you and for you, especially when people deny or don’t care about what is happening…
In your compassion, encourage me.
Living Lord, sometimes I feel the job’s too big and the damage is now too great…
In your compassion, fill me with hope.
“As the air sings with songs of glory, as the water flashes with the silver of creation, as the forest blooms with leaves for the healing of the nations, so may God’s love fill our hearts and souls and mind” (A prayer for god’s light and love by Chris Polhill)
